Forum Icons and Mark Channels As Read.

Sat 10th Jan '15, 4:53am

Good day all,

I have 2 questions which still trouble me.

1) The forum icons on the forum index, it there a way to change them, if so how? I know it uses some kind of sprite, but I dont understand how it works. Also on my forum I purchased a skin and the icons always remain the same weather there is a new post or not?

2) The mark Channel Read, my member are so used to VB4 that they are having a hard time with this option. In VB4 when you would mark all forums as read, it would do exactly that and it would also clear all the post in "todays post". Meaning that the todays post would return a empty search result until someone posted a new thread or reply. Is there a way to do this with VB5?

Comment

Today's Posts has NEVER returned an empty results page if you mark forums read. Today's Posts simply shows a list of topics updated in the past 24 hours. Unread ones have the titles in bold, and an unread marker next to it. Read ones show in normal (unbolded) font.

New Posts (or New Topics as it is in vB5) is the one that would return an empty results page if you had marked all read. This page isn't 100% accurate yet in vb5 but should be much improved in 5.1.6.

Mark,

Using either, especially Today's Posts, I NEVER see a thread unbolded, even after I've read it. Is there a setting I have missed?
